Overall, I like this piece.  I wish the top were a little shinier.  It seems a little more dull than the sides and bottom shelf.  The veneer was pulling away from a couple of the pieces but a little of the wood glue fixed that. Also, the chrome knobs don't really work for me but that's an easy fix.  My biggest complaint was the assembly.  I have assembled furniture before with no problem but this piece gave me some trouble.  It was difficult to align and tighten several of the pieces.  I eventually stopped following the enclosed directions and did it my own way which worked fine.  Basically I did the screws before the cam bolts instead of the other way around.  I do like the piece...it's the perfect size for what I need and once assembled, is sturdy and I think looks more expensive that it is.
